good japanese IZAKAYA
Food was really well executed. Pricey though.
Really good quality food with excellent service. All staff are kind and nice. This restaurant is real authentic Japanese izakaya not Californized fake one.
This is a really good izakaya. More formal than the Honda chain, and more expensive. I thought the meat was probably a little higher quality than most. Beef tongue was good, cut thicker than usual Japanese beef tongue. Pork cheek was fatty but good. Nice selection of sake and beer. I prefer more cozy izakaya places than this one, the environment was sterile. Overall very good.
Fantastic service and really good food. I got the beef tongue, which was highly recommended, and it was even better than I expected it to be. The outside was nicely seared with a flavorful crust while the inside was still juicy and tender. The little root salad on the side was a nice accompaniment.
As for the sake uni and squid sashimi, it was alright. The squid was actually pretty good, but the uni wasn't sweet at all and even had a slight bitter taste to it.
I will be coming back next time to try the other items on their menu!
